Cannabis legalization is increasing employee access and use and contributing to a rising number of workplace safety incidents and risks. A recent survey of more than 500 employed individuals who use cannabis during or before work indicates that 53% percent admit to daily cannabis use. Not only are they using daily, but many report using cannabis either at work or on their way to work.

In industries where a single accident can have major safety, environmental, brand, and cost impacts, testing for THC makes sense. But legacy tests with long detection windows are no longer providing manufacturing employers the information they need to make informed decisions. The solution is a cannabis breath test that helps to mitigate the risks associated with on-the-job cannabis use by isolating detection to use that occurred within 2-3 hours of the test.
“The laws are changing faster than our technology. We’re looking for a way to continue testing and support a safe work environment.”

How to successfully maintain workplace drug testing.
Reduce Safety Risks Associated with Workday Cannabis Use
THC accounts for more than half of all positive drug tests, and the National Survey on Drug Use and Health reports companies who don't drug test are 1.5X more likely to employ active cannabis users – creating safety, financial, and reputational risks.
The HOUND® CANNABIS BREATHALYZER delivers a solution to detect and deter use correlating to the workday.
Improve workplace safety
Mitigate risk, protect policy-abiding employees, and reduce the costs associated with high-risk workday cannabis use.
-
Deter workday use
Leverage the industry’s shortest detection window to help deter employees from using cannabis on the job or shortly before coming to work.
-
Promote employee fairness
Objective results distinguish between past marijuana use and recent use that correlates more closely to risky behavior within the workday.
